Puppies and elves

Here is the evidence! This morning while I was sitting on the floor having my coffee with the boys, Douglas actually played with Roald for a little bit. I wasn't prepared but did mange to get at least one picture of it... they played for a few minutes before Douglas decided that was enough for now.

It was a long night - Roald did very well for his first night though and I fully expected I wouldn't sleep very well.

At first Douglas was very happy to see Roald, then he started looking at him with that same disgusted look on his face again. He's so confused by this little dog and he's not sure how to feel about it. Norman is very sure how to feel about it - annoyed.

Max borrowed my antlers for a bit this morning - just to try them out... see how he liked them...

Izzie: Is that dog dressing up again? This is getting so out of hand...

Then Brina got to wear the elf hat.

Beatrice: Ha, she tried to put it on me but I refused, you are such a sucker!

I love your blog. Mary Ann from Calamity Acres is a friend and she told me to peek in at your place. I am so glad! You have created such a wonderful and safe place for your animals. Thanks for letting us look in.

Halloumi is delicious. It's delicious on it's own, fried, in salads, on patty melts ( see my recipe for patty melts with Halloumi...

They said it best...

And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stone, and good in everything. ~ William Shakespeare

"When despair for the world grows in me and I awake in the night at the least sound in fear of my life and my children's life maybe, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with fore thought of grief. I come into the presence of still water, and I feel above me the day - blind stars waiting for their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and I am free." ~Wendell Barry
